Cookie is deliciously sweet. Sheâs a pretty 4 year old hound who weighs 40 lbs. Cookie is a gentle, calm dog. She gets along well with other dogs and is a great companion to humans.

Cookie was initially shy when she came from a rural shelter. But it hasnât taken her long to gain confidence and show her playful side. Some outside urban noises still scare her a little but it wonât be long before sheâs used to these too.

Cookie is an affectionate girl and loves to nap with her human. When not cuddling with her human, cookie loves her walks. Sheâs very curious and likes to sniff around (she is a hound after all). Cookie is a smart girl and is learning new games like sit and come.

Foster Update (12/5): “Copper is a very sweet-hearted little guy, but he is also a very nervous dog. He isnât a fan of loud noises and sudden movements. It takes him longer to be comfortable with strangers, and he can be a little timid and shy away when it comes to being approached. Despite this, he does enjoy the company of those he knows and feels comfortable around, and he becomes extremely bonded to his people after time. He adores going on walks in quiet neighborhoods. He has lived with both dogs and cats before, and gotten along well with both. He is working on his confidence in his foster home and learning that life doesnât have to be so scary. He would do best in a quiet adult only home with a second confident dog to show him the ropes. Copperâs forever family will need to give him the time and patience he needs to open up and trust again..”

Missy would do best in a home that is in a more suburban area. She is very scared of the outside world and we are helping her to learn that its not such a bad place. Showing her this is much easier in a quieter neighborhood.

Missy has mad giant strides with her foster family and went from hiding in her crate all day to greeting them, playing with their other dogs, learning their routines and snuggling up for naps. We know she still has a long road ahead of her, but are so proud of the steps shes already taken.

We would definitely want her to go to an adopter who is experienced dog owner, sorry but no first time dog owners. Additionally, someone who understands the road a head is not going to be an easy one, but it will be totally worth it. Shes going to need a lot of patience to help her continue out of her shell.

Kids would be case by case, preferably older kids or kids that are well versed in dog and know that they will need to go slow and give her space. Same with dogs, she does well with other dogs that are on the relaxed side to give her space when she needs it.
